Diathermie Skin Treatments
Diathermie is used in a broad range of practices, from clinics like ourselves to surgical theatres. Diathermie is the term used for the heating of tissues for various different purposes. In our clinic, diathermie is used in the treatment of permanent hair removal, skin tags (Acrochordon) , Whiteheads (Milia) and Facial thread veins (Telangiectasia). Before Laser, diathermie was the most successful method used to treat unwanted hair, it still plays an important role today for the treatment of unwanted Blond or Grey hair as this type of hair is unsuitable for laser. The machines used for these treatments are the most advanced on the market to achieve the best results with minimum disruption to the surrounding skin tissue and discomfort to the client.
Skin Tags are soft flesh coloured or deeply pigmented harmless skin growths which are raised above the surrounding skin. They may have a thin stalk so that the skin tag hangs from the skin. They can range in size from 1mm to 1cm and can vary quite a bit in appearance. They are most commonly found on the eyelids, neck, beneath the breasts, under the arms and groin area. It is thought that they are caused by friction, hereditary factors, where there is a thickened skin due to sundamage and people who are overweight tend to aquire more of these. They are treated very easily and successfully with the Apidermie.

Milia are small spherical, pearl like bumps which are visible through the epidermal (surface) layers of the skin tissue. The cause is thought to be due to an accumulation of dead skin cells below the epidermis. This can happen as a result of sun damage where the skins surface has become thickened, or the use of heavy oil based cosmetics which creates a film over the skins surface or blocks the pores of the skin. We have perfected our own method of treating Milia over the years using the Apidermie.
